  • The film captures the cultural chasm between the glamorous, jet setting, media savvy – and sometimes clueless - Trump and a deeply rooted Scottish community. Despite several months of protesting and uprising by neighboring residents, Trump is hell-bent on opening his newest golf course, Trump International Golf Links, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. What begins as an often-amusing clash of world-views grows increasingly bitter and disturbing.

I went to school in Aberdeen and know the region well. It's a place of unforgiving winds and magnificent sunsets, harsh farmland and deserted beaches. The people are hardy, hardworking and fiercely self-sufficient, asking little of their government except the will to do the right thing. They weren't Trumped; they were betrayed. Read full review

In medieval times, the nobility enjoyed something called droit du seigneur, their right to deflower their serfs' virgin daughters before their marriage. These days the nobility has been replaced by billionaire bullies, who continue to screw us serfs. Read full review
